AVIC-Z110BT install in '02 Silverado

I would like to move my Z110BT from my F350 to my '02 silverado before I sell the F350. The dash area where the existing radio is installed is canted towards the driver more than the recommended 5 degrees.

 

The manual says "Install the navigation unit horizontally on a

surface within 0 degrees to 30 degrees tol-

erance (within 5 degrees to the left or

right). Improper installation of the unit with

the surface tilted more than these toler-

ances increases the potential for errors in

the location display, and might otherwise

cause reduced display performance."

 

This seems to refer to the 30 degree pitch rather than the 5 degree left and right.

 

So my questions are:

 

1) How much does this left angle affect the performance.

 

2) Has anyone installed this unit in a Silverado with the angle matching the original radio?

 

 

I am aware there are double din versus the Silverado's din and an half issues but I think I can solve these.

 

 

Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
